Leah's POV

“Mrs. Leah, regarding the matter at the Jordan's family banquet.

Your actions led to a significant decline in our company's stocks. Because of the Jordan's family statement, particularly from Mr. Jordan senior, many customers have now unsubscribed, leading to massive losses for the company.”

One of the stakeholders stated at the impromptu meeting they had initiated.

I guess with regard to the recent slow cash flow the accountant has already complained to us about.

“Don't you think you owe us an explanation?”

Another demanded with a straight face, not mindful of his choice in tone of voice either.

It is safe to say that the universe was simply working against me because I wouldn't know why so much would be happening to me all at once.

It's been from one thing to the other.

Just when I think I am done with one, another would surface.

I was beginning to think at first that it had a lot to do with Jasmine, but right now, I know she has nothing to do with it as she has no such i

    Leah's POV I had gone to see Mr. Williams' at his office in the Archer's group, and I took so much time to explain everything to Mr. Williams.From how the shareholder in my company had opted for an impromptu meeting down to the outcome of the meeting.I related to him every single thing in detail in the best emotions I felt that he could see the pains I had felt within.After what seemed like a little hesitation from here, I guess he was trying to put the magnitude of what I have told him together.He finally spoke.“What did you say?I mean what did I just hear you say? Is that true?”He frowned in confusion.Now, he was beginning to get me irritated with his questions.“Forget about what you heard because I know you heard me right.What I am asking is for you to lend me 200 million dollars.”I stated clearly.“How? Borrow you 200 million?Where was I expected to get that kind of money from?” From his tone of voice, one could easily depict that he never intends to help out.It wa

    Jasmine's POV“What do you mean?You don't want to lend me the money?Mr. Williams, the money I had given you a year back from the Scott's family wasn't just 200 million dollars. It was like two times, and you know that.”“What's the rush?Must you always remind me of that in every little argument?Besides, I didn't say I wouldn't help you at all.” Mr. Williams interjected to Mrs. Leah immediately.Though I couldn't see their facial expressions from where I was, I could imagine in my head how deadly the glare from both of them to the other would be.“I warn you. You know that you have quite a few handles of yours at the snip of my fingers. And if you don't help me, I will release them all online, and the world will see how gullible you could be to do such stupid things with kids that are young enough to be your granddaughter.”“You dare.”“See if I dare, then!”Now my instinct knows that any moment from now, Mrs. Leah is likely to leave Mr. Williams's office as they were both in the h

    Jasmine’s POV “My knee!?”Ethan cried out, and now it seems what should have been to get his reaction only turned out to be pain shooting through my body. As he had asked, with his eyes fixed on mine for an answer.Without thinking twice, I abruptly knelt beside him with my eyes now filled with concern so he would at least believe—or, let's say, that he would still think that it's real.“Yeah. It's broken.”I responded with a neutral expression and proceeded further.“Again, the doctor also said you won't be able to stand up or walk for the rest of your life as your legs were broken too.”But you know, I intentionally said that to get his reaction.I mean, who risks his life that way just to save someone?What if he had died on the course on that?Who knows, they might term me a murderer, as I was the only one with him there.“You mean my knee is broken?”He still went on to question, with confusion etched on his face and giving me that expression like he didn't hear me the first tim

    Jasmine's POV I took a little time off to go get Ethan something to eat; I actually know he would love to eat when he doesn't necessarily feel like eating.Not for the fact I loved to get it for him, but then for the fact I needed to excuse him so he would have a little time to himself.On my way out of the hotel, my thoughts went weird, and now I felt fulfilled, knowing the chaos that must have been stirred between Mrs. Leah and Mr. Williams as Mr. Ken let me know the scandalous video had already gone online.At least if everything goes accordingly, Mr. Williams must have accused Mrs. Leah about it all, and you know what that means.I would be more of a counterattack, when Mr. Williams thinks Mrs. Leah released the videos, as she was the only one who is likely to have access to them.Just with the thoughts of that, a smile creased across my face knowingly.Just after I got the food, I returned back to the hospital.Still in the thought of what had filled my mind earlier on, which co

    Jasmine’s POV I went to see Mr. Williams as soon as Ethan finished eating.Although the other remaining time after I had disclosed going to meet his dad was all as silent as a burial ground until I left him.The situation was so bad that he refused to continue his feeding after that moment, insisting that he was already satisfied.To me, going to see his dad wasn't a big deal.And you know, I wouldn't know why Ethan seemed so disturbed about it all, but then since he wouldn't open up to me, there was no way I was going to know what was scanning through his mind, as I can't read his mind either.I met Mr. Williams all alone, in his sitting room, chilling out with his glass of wine.“Mr. Williams, you said you needed to see me.You know this is quite unusual, as we have both always been like two parallel lines that can never meet each other. Is there any way I would be of help to you this time?”I said, crossing my legs, as I made myself comfortable on the couch there in the sitting ro

    Williams POV “The money you demanded has been transferred to you.Give me the thing at once.” I said, stretching forth my hand, and then Mrs. Leah handed a memory drive to me.I knew she was the one that did it all along, and so I wonder why she kept on denying it at first before she finally opened up.Who else could have done it if not someone as selfish and impatient as she is?And so since I have the money, it's better I give it to her, as I wouldn't know what more she had up her sleeves.But then, she should fear my return of vengeance because I knew exactly when to strike her as she had already discussed with me her plans of going into politics the next year.And so it is a quid pro quo kind of thing when the time comes.Consequently, I received the memory drive in return.“From now on, let's cut off all contact between our families.”After that, I stood up to exit myself from her home.“Mr. Williams, what do you mean by that?”Bella, who had just passed by in the sitting room w

If it's not, then it should be better soon when the legs must have gotten used to walking with time.You know that you have not walked in a while, and so it will take some time for you to get used to it.”I encouraged Ethan as he tried to stretch his legs after a little walk out.We had decided to take a walk on the road as he has been gradually recovering, and so allowing him to walk around will help in the healing process as the doctor had advised.Just immediately, I noticed Bella approaching us with a tightened expression, but both Ethan and I acted less concerned, like she never existed in the first place.Before we knew it, she came close to me, and just in the split of a second, she hit me on my cheeks.But before she could withdraw her hand, I held it tightly.Then I decided to let go of her hand, as I understood she is simply acting under the influence of frustration, and she must be depressed alongside as she was already looking it all.“You

Bella was also sent to prison after she was arrested abroad for drug trafficking.I had come to Ethan's grave to worship with my 2-year-old son and Luciano.“Ethan, I have come to see you and pay due respect. This is our child, and his name is Brad. He is actually 2 years old now.Isn't he adorable?Come here, son, say ‘Daddy.’” I said as soon as I dropped a bunch of flowers right before the tomb.“Daddy.”He responded cheerfully.“Doesn't he look a lot like you?Anyway, I think you are mad at me; otherwise, why haven't you ever visited me in dreams at least?Anyway, I want to remind you that I will take good care of our child for us.Before now, you were the one chasing after me, but from now on, let me engrave you in my heart.”I smiled heartily and then t

I wailed like my life depended on him coming back to life.Just then, the police surrounded the whole vicinity, and Mrs. Leah, Mr. Williams, and the hired assassins were all apprehended.I barely noticed how Mrs. Leah kept apologizing to Mr. Williams that it was all a mistake and she never meant to kill Ethan. Instead it was me that she wanted to kill.That was before the police got in, though.Although I didn't pay much attention to them as my whole focus was fixed on Ethan's dead body that lay on my lap, with our bodies having blood all over that came from his mouth and stomach where the knife had pierced him.In no time, the ambulance came and took away Ethan's corpse.It all seemed like a dream, but I have to accept the reality the hard way.One of the officers approached me.“The record has been completed.Please accept our condolences.We would have arrived a bit earlier, and this wouldn't have happened, but we n

    Ethan's POV I had gotten the location of the place by the office I had called after he tracked the number I sent to him.And so I headed there at once while he informed me to get the police squad ready and so he would join me soon.As I couldn't wait any longer, I decided to rush to the location he had already shared with me.I got in the middle of the conversation where my dad and Mrs. Leah had disclosed so many things about the truth they had been hiding from me all along.Although I had heard that was the same truth Jasmine had used to claim back the heir of the Scott family but I believed it was all manipulated by Jasmine.Now, hearing my dad and Mrs. Leah admitting it all, I have no reason to see Jasmine that way.Now, I know Jasmine was innocent and she is the Nadin but there was no time for that.When I wasn't having it, I needed to stop up from the spot I hid all the while, as I had heard all I needed to know about the truth.“Stop.”I said, pausing my dad in his act as he tr

    Williams POV“How did both of you get here? Aren't you supposed to be in prison?Does that mean you escaped custody after all your evil deeds that were labelled against you two in the law court?”Jasmine asked fiercely, trying to get up at the same time.Just when I thought she could just shut her fucking lips for once. Or it hadn't dawned on her that she was in dire danger and no one was coming to save her.Anyway, it's not her fault as she didn't know the plan is to end her life here, and nothing is ever stopping us on that.I think I needed to reset her brain a little; let's say the previous slap from the thugs didn't do enough justice, and so I went on and slapped her really hard, sending her back to the floor.“Bastard!You got me into this mess. How do you think that I could let you go just like that?”This godforsaken lady has messed up my life, big time. If not for my connections, I would definitely rot in jail over time, as I know that was part of her plan. And now, it was as

    Ethan's POV After what seemed like a short nap, I could say it's the shortest nap in the history of man, as I could feel I woke up not long after I had slept.Although I know the sleep had a lot to do with the alcohol I took and the pain I felt because I wasn't feeling sleepy nor having the thoughts of sleep before then.I staggered out to the corridor that led to my room as I wanted to ease myself at the convenience room, and then saw Nadin with my phone, though she backed me and didn't take notice of me.“Why are you with my phone?” I asked, and she freaked out as she didn't see me coming behind her.“Which day did my phone turn to yours, or do we both share the phone now without my notice?Did someone call? Who was calling?” I questioned all at a time.“Ethan... I... I...”Obviously stammering, right then, I knew she was up to something.“Give me my phone at once.”I said, stretching my hand, and took my phone from her at once.I went through the last caller because I was convince

    Jasmine’s POVWhile I was alone, the idea to escape kept striking my mind even after many failed attempts.And so, I wouldn't stop to think within me any way I could do that.So, I managed to get a broken broken that was behind me. I had sighted it from a distance, though, after so much effort of moving backward.I commenced using the bottle to slightly cut the rope, and fortunately enough for me, I got myself untied, although I injured myself in the process and blood gushed out, but that was the least thing I could worry about now. As my nervous system was more concentrated on the danger that lies within and how I would escape, it was what seemed to overtake the better part of my thoughts.I didn't bother to untie my legs; I need to at least inform someone so at least the person could contact the police in case I am escaping and the kidnappers apprehend me on their way back or something.I think that is a nice idea, and I needed to act accordingly to that immediately.I quickly picke

    Ethan's POV My life has been so shattered without Jasmine.Though I had opted for the divorce at first, I felt it could make me forget things about her so fast, but that didn't help at all. I think it even made it worse.Now, thinking of the one who claimed to be Nadin is nothing like her; if I have to be honest about it all to myself, But that was exactly Nadin's face, but then, I can't really place the dots how they connect in character.I have heard her making calls secretly, requesting the completion of the money for a service she is rendering.Seems like she has a lot of secrets too, but right now, I didn't care about all of those.One thing that I find so confusing and can't even answer is, do most women keep secrets to be happy?I wouldn't even lie that it makes me weak as fuck.I feel like I was losing it, with nobody to talk to or even share my pains with because it seems Nadin isn't even close to me the way Jasmine was. My dad is behind bars and had been charged to court,

    Bella's POV Seeing how prepared Jasmine has come to spoil the show for me. Not this event that seemed like a dream come true to me, that I had waited for some time before it finally came to a reality.And so, I had to act accordingly as my mum was too stunned to react, unlike her though.Just at the heat of the moment after she played the audio, I had fully recognized my mum's voice and that of Mr. Williams, knowing how far this could go to mess things up for me. As that was already enough proof, the board members need to know what had happened to Mr. Scott for real.I quickly snatched the tape from Jasmine and smashed it on the floor.“This voice is synthesized. It's not real, and you all shouldn't believe that trash. She doesn't need to continue to deceive you all.”I persuaded, but to my surprise, no one was ready to even listen to me as they kept glaring at me like I was talking gibberish.I went close to Jasmine, trying to drag her.“You lunatic, what are you trying to do, and w
